United States: Another guilty plea in DeKalb corruption probe

A former janitorial company executive is facing federal prison time for setting up a DeKalb County official with luxury living in exchange for government work.

On Tuesday Cecil K. Clark, a former division manager for Alabama-based Rite Way Service, pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe Patrick Jackson, who simultaneously worked in janitorial services for both the DeKalb County government and the Georgia World Congress Center.

Jackson, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit honest services fraud in April, used the two positions to help steer millions of dollars in contracts and jobs to Rite Way at the public’s expense, court documents say.
